Autumn Forest Deer felt landscape. An original felt painting by Yorkshire felt artist Janine Jacques.
We walked from home to Hazelwood Castle which is one of our favorite local walks. Hazelwood Castle is a lovely welcoming place to stop for a cup of tea or more.
To get there, we pass through this beautiful woodland. The tall trees provided a lovely autumnal scene, the forest floor was carpeted with a rich aray of fallen leaves in shades of red, orange, and gold, crunching softly beneath our feet. Rays of sunlight dance through the trees, casting long dappled shadows on the forest floor. Swaying gently in the breeze, the tree branches were adorned with colourful leaves that shimmered in the soft sunlight filtering through the canopy.
A deer ahead of us was camouflaged by the autumn colors, silently waiting. If she doesn’t make a sound, maybe we won’t see her.
We saw lots of deer that day, bouncing through the forest. It’s always such a special and rare moment to see them.
The original felt artwork measures approximately 30cm (w) x 48cm (h).
Framed:- The final felt landscape painting is mounted in a double thickness acid-free mount and framed with a white wooden frame and museum glass.
Framed size:- 58.5cm (w) x 76cm (h)
*Colours may vary slightly from the photographed work.
Drawing on my degree in Fine Art, I use merino wool in lots of different colours (as you would tubes of paint) and lay out the loose fibres of different coloured wool onto my base (as you would paint on canvas).
Once finished the next stage is to make these loose fibres of wool stick together using the ‘wet felting’ technique to make the wool painting into a piece of felt. You do this by adding hot soapy water and friction. The hot water opens up the wools scales and the friction (rubbing/rolling) binds them together. During this process the wool shrinks by about 15-20% and you end up with one piece of felt material.
Once the felted picture is dry I needle felt into the piece to sharpen some of the details.
The final felt art is attached to a piece of mount board and mounted as seen then posted out ready for you to take to a framer to choose the frame.
